Date/Time: Now through July 18, Weekdays, 3:00–6:00 PM
Location: Ground Floor, Klaus Classroom Wing (Next to the Rainbow Stairs)

Hosted by AI-CARING Researchers at Georgia Tech, AI-CARING invites the Georgia Tech community and families to experience RoboCraft, a unique fusion of creativity and cutting-edge robotics research. Led by researchers Kartik Ramachandruni and Maithili Varang Patel, this walk-in arts & crafts center is part of an interactive study exploring how robots can learn to assist humans through observation of natural, everyday behaviors.

Whether you're crafting a coaster, designing a sun catcher, or experimenting with moss art, the RoboCraft center offers a relaxing and imaginative space—open to everyone, including kids!

What to Expect:

- A wide range of materials for creative crafting
- Take your artwork home with you
- A robot assistant observing human interaction and behavior in a natural setting
- A casual, drop-in experience—no registration required
- An opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking AI research while having fun

Why It Matters:
RoboCraft supports AI-CARING’s mission to develop collaborative AI systems that can meaningfully assist people in their daily lives—particularly older adults and caregivers. Understanding how humans naturally work, create, and communicate is central to building AI that can adapt to real-world social environments.

**Invite a friend, bring your kids, and stop by anytime on a weekday afternoon!**
